Thanks Lightning, I think I'll try the additive and see. I made one w 9% fo, just to see, I had to wipe the oil off the top of it the next day. After two days I lit it and it threw great. I made one w/ 50% soy, 50% paraffin, same fo load , made a beautiful candle, throw is about the same as the soy one though, not really a noticeable difference there. I made one 100% soy w/7% fo, couldn't tell a difference in the throws really at all, it has as good of a throw as the others. Only difference really is the all soy ones are just butt ugly. very rough tops and they stay rough even after several burns. No frosting though (this is my first time w/soy, I don't know when the frosting should set in, but so far none) the usual wet spots (which don't bother me at all) I made one last night w 80% soy, 20 % parrafin, very pretty top. I'm just testing all kinds of darn ways, .. same fo of course so I can compare. But I am getting some of that additive to try also.
